Lothar took a step forward, but it was empty.

The reef in front of him, at some point in time, turned into a huge open mouth, and Lothar fell into it all at once.

Lothar seemed to fall into a dank cave, surrounded by darkness, but Lothar did not resist, just waited quietly in it.

When the light reappeared, Lothar was spat out and landed in a wooden hut.

"The way you invite people is really disgusting." Lothar turned to look behind him, a **** catfish was stroking its beard and looked at Lothar with a smile.

"Oh, oh, Mr. Lothar." Tam Kench made a slick voice. "I just saw that you seemed to be leaving Bilgewater, and I came here to remind you not to forget to honor our contract."

"Does your way of reminding people is to kidnap people into this house?" Lothar sneered, "Don't think I don't know your tricks, Tam Kench, [two coats], I fought the devil There is a lot of dealings.”

Tam Kench smiled and took off his top hat: "Don't say that, we are business partners anyway, you see you successfully prevented Bilgewater from becoming the second shadow island with my help, then you As long as you help me kill one person, we'll be clear, sit down, and we'll chat while we eat."

"Hmph..." Lothar sat down, he knew how to deal with this guy who was beyond the realm of magic and biology, "I didn't see anything to eat."

"Serve the food right away." Tam Kench opened his mouth wide, and he spit out dozens of dazzling dishes, but all the "dishes", whether they were fish, chickens or worms, were all alive and cut off. The active organs can only flutter on the plate, and just seeing the sticky saliva on it makes people lose their appetite in an instant.

"I like to eat fresh. It's a wonderful feeling to bite down and swallow a little bit of life." Tam Kench patted his stomach.

"You should eat it yourself." Lothar opened his hand slightly, and a scorching flame flickered in his hand, like a small sun.

Tam Kench laughed: "It seems that you have gained new power during the time you left."

"It can't be counted as a gain, it should count as a return." Lothar extinguished the flame in his hand, and he deliberately showed his power just to show the demon, "You seem to be quite happy."

"Can you be unhappy?" Tam Kench grabbed a live loach that was rolling over and over on the plate, and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, "If you become stronger, the chances of helping me kill that person will also increase. bigger."

"Just a little bigger"

"Hahaha, I understand your mood, but..." Tam Kinch swallowed the food and licked his lips with his fat tongue, "The person I want you to kill... is indeed very powerful, to be honest. , even if I see your power to keep the entire Bilgewater alive, I don't think your odds of winning are very big."

"Really?" Lothar tapped his finger on the table. "Then tell me, what is the name of the person you want me to kill?"

"Just saying his name makes me nauseous." Tam Kench's voice became weird. "He is a demon among demons. There are not thousands or tens of thousands of people who died in his hands."

"Name." Lothar reminded, "I can't find him without knowing the name."

"Hey, then I have to whisper. His ears are very good. If he hears me, I will be cut off in half. I don't want to be called [a coat] in the future." Tam Ken Qi quietly leaned over and said in a very small voice in Lothar's ear, "His name is... Rorschach..."

The third chapter to investigate

"Rorschach" Miss Fortune pressed her gun against the bearded gluttonous market leader in front of her, "Is it really that name?"

The person in charge nodded again and again, he really wanted to cry but had no tears. He was in a good mood when he got off work, and then he saw two big beauties approaching. He thought he was going to have an affair tonight. Instead of giving him a hug, he was beaten, half of his face was swollen into a pig's head, and he didn't feel in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the beautiful woman in front of him, so he honestly knelt on the ground.

"And then, where is this Rorschach? What does it look like?" a fox-eared Vastaya woman asked in a cold voice.

The person in charge looked at the sharp claws of the fox-eared woman's hands with trepidation. It was these claws that cut a painful wound on his back, and the faint pink magic light in the fox-eared woman's eyes made him unable to control it. Confess all the truth: "I...I really don't know! We all work on multiple lines in the gluttonous market, and I have never met our boss! I even heard the name Rorschach by accident! I really don't know what he looks like!"

"Lilia." The fox-eared woman looked at a timid deer hiding behind her. Even though the person in charge had knelt down pitifully on the ground begging for mercy, Lilia still didn't dare to appear in front of strangers.

"Sister Ahri, he didn't lie, he really only knows so much." Lilia said in a voice that could only be heard by Ahri and Miss Fortune.

Miss Fortune and Ahri looked at each other, and she took the gun away from the person in charge.

"You are going to let me go." The person in charge was overjoyed.

"I will let you go, but I won't let you go like this." Miss Fortune smiled.

"Ah?" Before the person in charge could react, he suddenly smelled a nice scent of flowers. He only felt that the world was spinning, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

"Okay...Okay..." Lilia shook her ears and showed her head from behind Ali, "I've already messed him up with his memory today, he won't remember us."

"Good job." Miss Fortune wanted to compliment Lilia, she reached out to touch Lilia's head, she always wanted to get close to this funny little deer who was afraid of life.

But Lilia was still very afraid of life, even though Miss Fortune had been working with her and Ahri for a while, Lilia still didn't dare to get close to Miss Fortune.

"Lilia is too shy, don't mind." Ali hugged Lilia and comforted her gently.

"It's all right." Miss Fortune didn't care too much, "But Lilia is really powerful, she can find this guy through dreams, it's really good for people who are greedy in the market to hide, I'm afraid we can't find greed now without you. Take a cue from the market."

"Lilia is very powerful." Ali stroked Lilia's back and praised, and the deer's four hooves stepped on the ground a few times, seeming to be quite happy.

"After working hard for so long, I finally got the name of the greedy market leader." Miss Fortune stretched, "Rorschach... Unfortunately, I still only know one name. How should I continue?"

"Rorschach..." Ali read the name, "sounds... like Demacia's name."

"The country to the west of Demacia" Miss Fortune was taken aback, "Have you been to Demacia?"

"No."

"That……"

"But I have a memory of Demacia." Ahri's face darkened, "I know someone... who was mistakenly called Rorschach by a Demacian girl..."

Miss Fortune didn't understand, but she knew from Ahri's expression that she had touched Ahri's sadness, and quickly joked: "It's just a name, this Rorschach is definitely not the one you know."

"I know, this Rorschach is definitely not him..." Ali murmured.

She was extremely sure, because the boy she knew had lost all memory at this time, wandering in confusion in Ionia.

Lilia gently pulled Ahri's hand.

"Thank you." Ali hugged Lilia and said to Miss Fortune, "Unfortunate, today we have got the name, and the next step is to continue the investigation."

"Yeah." Miss Fortune nodded, "But I can't blatantly pursue the name Rorschach. Bilgewater is full of gluttonous businesses, and investigating this name will definitely be targeted."

"If you can't do it, leave it to us." The pink magic halo flashed in Ali's eyes, "Lilia and I can make many people tell the truth."

"I don't recommend you do this." Miss Fortune said sternly, "What we are going to touch next is the core secret of the gluttony market, which suddenly emerged in Bilgewater a few years ago and quickly penetrated Bilge. All of Walter's industries. Planck's unreasonable local snake has been bitten off a lot of fat by the greedy market. There must be many strong players in the greedy market. If we continue to investigate this way, we will definitely get into trouble. "

"You told me to give up?" Ali narrowed his eyes.

"Of course not, we've already found out this step, how can we give up?" Miss Fortune smiled, "I just said, we should change the way."

"In what way"

"Hire some capable idiots to help us check." Miss Fortune said, "I have a choice in my heart."

Ali was silent for a while. She had to admit that what Miss Fortune said made sense. The water in Bilgewater was very deep, and it was impossible to guarantee that any accidents would happen if the investigation continued.

Ali looked at Lilia next to him. Ali lost her once in the last Soul Eater Night, putting the deer in danger. Ali was determined not to make such a mistake again.

"I know, just do as you said." Ali nodded. "But I don't want to wait. I'll leave Bilgewater to find some clues elsewhere."

"Okay." Miss Fortune agreed, "Where are you going?"

"Go west." Ali said, "If that Rorschach is really from Demacia, then going west may be able to get some clues."

"Then say goodbye here." Miss Fortune reached out and shook hands with Ah Li, "No matter what you find, you are welcome to come back anytime to exchange information."

"Yeah." Ali watched Miss Fortune leave, she stretched her nine tails and covered Lilia with her nine furry tails, the deer liked Ali like this, she said it was soft and warm.

"We're going west next." Ali touched Lilia's face, "It may be more difficult in the future, are you ready?"

"I'm not afraid!" Lilia buried her face in Ali's arms. "It's just that Sister Ali, don't leave me alone. I have Mengchen pollen now, so I can help."

"Well, I won't leave you alone again." Ali put his chin on Lilia's head, "but you have to change your fear of life, why do I feel that you are becoming more and more fearful of life? Is it serious? You are still afraid of bad luck even though she has been with us for so long."

"No... it's not..." Lilia raised her head from Ali's chest and looked at Ali with big eyes, "I'm not afraid of Miss Fortune because I don't know her well..."

Ah Li was taken aback: "Is that why you are afraid of her gun?"

"Her gun can make such a loud noise, it's really scary...but..." Lilia drooped her ears, "I'm afraid of the smell on her body."

"What does it taste?" Ahri could also read some human emotions, but she didn't feel anything special about Miss Fortune.

"It smells bad..." Lilia whispered, "That's... the smell of hatred and revenge..."

fourth chapter priest

"Did Luo Sha say that..." Miss Fortune sat at the table and took a sip of Greyhound wine.

With Miss Fortune's status, it is not difficult to drink the best wine every day, but in private, Miss Fortune still likes to drink a dime of three copper herrings sold in this tavern. Sailors would drink this inferior wine.

"That guy is too self-talking." Miss Fortune held her head, "I helped him get the Leviathan, but he perfunctory me with a 'see you later'"

Daya kept nodding in agreement: "That's right, that man is bad to death, but he is really strong..."

Miss Fortune raised her eyes: "Did you see him?"

"It's useless!" Da Ya hurriedly denied, "I know how much I have and how much I have. I'm afraid my life expectancy will be halved with someone like him. I still want to save enough money to live in Ionia or other places. Shurima buys a small estate and enjoys his old age."

"Heh..." Miss Fortune smiled, took out two golden sea monsters and threw them to Da Ya, "Okay, you have worked hard this time, go back and rest for two days, and work later to cheer me up."

"Yes! Captain!" Da Ya looked at the two golden coins in her hand very happily, thinking that she really did not follow the wrong person, Miss Fortune was generous and caring for her subordinates, it was perfect.

After Da Ya left, Miss Fortune continued to drink, the bitter taste slid down her throat and into her stomach, and then released a fiery heat in her stomach.

"I really did a business at a loss." Miss Fortune laughed at herself, the man left Bilgewater without authorization, and the deal with him became an empty talk that would be fulfilled at some point.

"I'm unlucky...but I also got the name of the owner of the gluttonous market through Ali and the others, and it's not that I haven't made any progress." Miss Fortune tapped the table with her fingers, her tapping was very rhythmic, She used to do it when she was thinking about things alone.

"Also praise Yuge, where did you learn it?" A thick voice suddenly appeared in Miss Fortune's room.

Miss Fortune suddenly pulled out the musket from under the table and pointed it in the direction of the sound, but her wrist was quickly grabbed by a large hand, and the muzzle of the musket could only be pointed at the ceiling and could not be aimed.

It was a very rough and generous hand with strong strength. Miss Fortune felt that the other party could twist her arm off with a little force, so she sensiblely did not resist - the other party just grabbed her arm , without further meaning.

"Miss Fortune, I'm not wrong," said the visitor.

"Which one are you?" Miss Fortune said while looking at the other party. The visitor was a woman, but she was the strongest woman Miss Fortune had ever seen. She could almost touch the ceiling, and her muscles were as strong and solid as a rock. The last time Miss Fortune saw someone with such a strong body was the Northlander named Olaf that Luo Shark bought at the auction.

But when Miss Fortune saw the woman's attire and a serpentine gold totem stone on her shoulder, Miss Fortune knew who she was.

"Ms. Beard's Priest!" Miss Fortune exclaimed, "You... what are you doing here!"

"I'm here, of course I'm asking you questions." The priest released Miss Fortune's hand. She looked into Miss Fortune's eyes with admiration on her face, "You are good, your eyes are very good."

"Ha..." Miss Fortune didn't understand what the priest was complimenting her. She shook her arm, which was aching from being caught. "How did you get on my boat?"

"Your subordinates need exercise. I patted them and they fainted." The priest saw the greyhound wine on Miss Fortune's table, "You have a good taste in bitter wine."

The priest picked up the half bottle of greyhound wine on the table and poured it into his stomach, and let out a sigh of relief.

Miss Fortune looked at the strange priest in front of her in disbelief.

Bilgewater is a pirate port built on the Blue Flame Islands. Although this pirate port has only spent a few decades getting rich by hunting sea beasts, it has become the largest trading port in the Eastern Sea. , Bilgewater is just a port city, far from expanding to the entire Blue Flame Islands.

More of the Blue Flame Islands is occupied by its aboriginal people - a mysterious civilization called Baru.

Miss Fortune knew very little about Baru, and even though she grew up in Bilgewater, she hardly ever dealt with Baru's people, because Baru people were quite xenophobic, and they never came to Bilgewater He is particularly involved in trade, does not interfere with the pirates' hunting of sea beasts, and refuses any outsiders to enter Baru's territory.

The Baru people seem to have reached a tacit understanding with the pirates of Bilgewater - the pirates will not attack the Baru, and the Baru will not drive the pirates away from the Blue Flame Islands. It's like living in two worlds.

The only thing Miss Fortune knew about Baru was that the belief in the **** [Ms. Beard] was passed down from Baru to Bilgewater. The belief in this sea beast had a deep influence on Bilgewater, and the pirates even printed the image of the bearded lady on gold coins, called the Golden Siren.

"Priest, what are you doing here?" Miss Fortune put down her musket, and faced a priest with a beard, it seemed pointless to use a musket.

"Um..." The priest wiped his mouth, "I'm here to find you to investigate something."

"Investigate" Miss Fortune thought, "What's the matter?"

"The last Night of Soul Eater." The priest's question was beyond Miss Fortune's expectations, "That Night of Soul Eater was very special, do you know what happened? My followers witnessed you on Soul Eater Night with a Vastaya women run around Bilgewater."

"There is indeed such a thing." Miss Fortune nodded, "But the last Night of Soul Eater wasn't tragic. I don't think the water tombs in Baigang have been added much, and the corpse collectors are complaining that they are out of business."

"No! The last Night of Soul Eater was very special!" the priest exclaimed, "There is a very vicious magic that covers the entire Bilgewater! That magic is enough to kill all life here!"

Miss Fortune looked confused, she spread her hands: "Priest, are you joking, how could there be such an outrageous demon..."

"I'm not kidding!" The priest's big hand pressed Miss Fortune's shoulder, staring straight at her, howling like a bull, "It was only a little bit that night! It was only a little bit that everyone would die! Whether it was You or I have become a group of resentful souls in the black mist!"

Miss Fortune made her scalp numb, and she felt that the priest would break her shoulder if she tried harder: "Priest, calm down, if I told you, why are we still alive now?"

"Because of another magic." The priest released Miss Fortune and said solemnly, "That magic also covered the entire Bilgewater and didn't let anyone die."

Miss Fortune felt that the priest's words were getting more and more outrageous, but she still echoed: "Perhaps such a thing happened... But I really don't know, I was busy with other things that night."

"I have investigated you." The priest looked at Miss Fortune, "You have been doing a lot of things recently, and it seems you have been busy with something. You have no signs of undead on your body. I believe you may not be aware of this, but you have noticed that Bill has recently Is there anything unusual about Giwater? Any anomalies can tell me, like what happened, or who came."

"People..." Miss Fortune thought of the man who left without saying goodbye.

Miss Fortune thought for a while, and felt that what the priest said must have nothing to do with the man, after all, that man was not in Bilgewater that night.

"I really don't know, priest, you've got the wrong person." Miss Fortune plans to see off the guest.

"Well..." The priest pondered for a while, "Okay, then I'll leave, if you remember or know any clues about what I said, be sure to come and tell me, you can find all the snakes in Bilgewater. The Mother Temple finds me, and I will give you the corresponding reward."

"Reward..." Miss Fortune blinked, she has not been a bounty hunter for a long time, and it is not difficult for her to obtain money, but if she can get into a relationship with a priest of a beard lady... Maybe it will be useful in the future on the place.

"I remember." Miss Fortune nodded, "I haven't asked your name yet."

"Don't use honorifics to me, Baru people don't do this." The priest waved his hand, "My name is Illaoi, remember."

"Okay." Miss Fortune opened the room door.
